Re: Stripping Paint From Cab - Need Surface Rust Tips

Thanks. I do have a spot blaster I could use to try the pitted areas. It is a pain inside the garage due to the mess it makes, but its feasible. I was using coal slag, and bought some garnet today to see of its any better

I took a 80 grit pad on my orbital sander to the roof today to see what was underneath. Similar small patches of surface rust, and another small pitted area. I do think I will try chemical stripper on some areas of the cab to try and speed this up.

The 80 grit pad still needed some elbow grease to take off the small surface "patches" in the photos, I expected it would take this rust off easier.

If there's anymore feedback on the amount of surface rust on the truck and best practices to remove, please share.
